Space germs wipe out virtually everyone who has passed through puberty.
Abby Leigh is looking forward to watching the moon turn purple. For months, astronomers have been predicting that Earth will pass through the tail of a comet. They say that people will see colorful sunsets and, best of all, a purple moon.
But nobody has predicted the lightning-fast epidemic that sweeps across the planet on the night of the purple moon. The comet brings space dust with it that contains germs that attack human hormones. Older teens and adults die within hours of exposure.
On a small island off the coast of Maine, Abby must help her brother and baby sister survive in this new world, but all the while she has a ticking time bomb inside of her -- adolescence.
MY REVIEW
4 OF 5 PURPLE MOONS
First I would like to give a huge Thank You to Scott for allowing me to read and review his book. I have to say I really have not read to many dystopian books but I really enjoyed this one.
The night of the purple moon is fast approaching and things will never be the same. Everyone is talking about it and the scientists have even predicted it will be bad. The night of the purple moon comes and kills all the adults except for the scientists who live in quarantine.Then Jordan and two other friends gather as many kids as they can so they can stay in one place and look out for one another.
What I really enjoyed about this story was that the kids had to make some tough decisions and work through there problems together. This is a world where the adults no longer exist and the kids have to figure out how to survive. I have never read a book like this but I really found myself enjoying it and could not put it down. It is a summer must read while you are on the beach soaking up the rays enjoy this quick read and see if you could survive the purple moon.......
